If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

Update: My benefits finally came through! It took 17 days total from when I filed. Based on comments here, I tried both Claimyr to reach an agent (worked surprisingly well) and also contacted my state assembly member's office. Not sure which one did the trick, but I got a call yesterday saying my claim was approved and this morning all my back benefits were in my account! Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions during this stressful time.
Glad it worked out for you! Mine took way longer but that was during the system update fiasco in January, so maybe they've improved things.

my tax guy said just go with what u know n if thers a problem theyll let u know eventually lol thats what i did
Update: I was finally able to verify my CTC payments! Used that Claimyr service to get through to an IRS agent (only took about 15 minutes) and confirmed I received exactly $1,800 like I thought. Filed my taxes yesterday and already got the acceptance notification from the IRS. Thanks everyone for your help!
Great to hear! For anyone else in a similar situation, remember you can also access your tax records through the IRS online account system if you prefer not to call. You'll need to create an ID.me account first, which takes about 15-20 minutes to set up.

btw make sure u have ur proper wages handy when u apply. i messed up and had to send in like 3 months of paystubs cause i guessed wrong on my wages. total pain in the butt
Thanks everyone for all the info! I just submitted my application yesterday. It was actually easier than I expected. They asked about my reduced hours and I made sure to say it was due to lack of work (which is true). Now I'm just waiting for them to process it. Fingers crossed it goes through without issues!
Glad to hear you applied! Don't forget that once approved, you'll need to claim benefits (certify) every week, even if your claim is still pending. Make sure you report your exact hours and wages for each week. Good luck!
Thanks for the reminder! I've got a reminder set in my calendar to certify every Sunday. Really hoping this helps bridge the gap until my hours go back to normal.

anybody know if they're still doing those extra $300 supplemental payments? my friend said he got one but i haven't seen anything about it on the website
The NY Supplemental Assistance Program is only available for claims filed before April 15, 2025. It was a temporary program and not everyone qualifies. There's information about it in the Benefits Handbook on the NYSDOL website.
FINAL UPDATE: My payment finally came through today! What worked was: 1) Clicking that verification button the former employee mentioned, and 2) I did end up using the Claimyr service yesterday which got me through to someone who could tell me exactly when to expect payment. Thanks everyone for your help - this community saved me so much stress!
congrats!!! im going to try that button thing right now
Great news! Glad you got it resolved. For anyone else reading this thread in the future, always make sure to click that verification button after uploading documents - it's a step many people miss.

•I honestly don't remember the exact amount, but it wasn't much compared to the backpay I was waiting for. Check their website for current info. All I know is it saved me from weeks more frustration!

•Good point, I'll definitely keep checking. The agent gave me a confirmation number for the transaction so hopefully that means it's actually fixed.
